Federico stuI, and when my best Sunday
dress Of the scorned material suddenly and
disastrousiy gave way one day, She declared
she would make me a homespun gown that
would as far surpaSs II as the sun does the
stars. My fragile mother, overweight by
privation and suspense, was III at the time
and NANNY bad full sway ia the selection
Of material for making the promised gown
She sought the attic and cauo down with a
large bundle Of badly worn garments OF silk
aud wool, in black and white, and also bits
Of silk and wool cloth. These garments and
bits she cut into very small pieces and then
with wonderful patience picked them entirely
apart into species Of lint. This lint was
carded into rolls, which were then spun into
threads, and from'this thread the material
was finally woven. The goods resulting from
this commingling OF white and black were of
medium gray in color, their texture was
smooth and silky, and as a Specimen Of home
manufacture were deserving Of great credit
The little gown was made and donned as a
birthday surprise TO my mother Jennie s.
